About the brand

MARRKNULL is an independent Chinese designer brand founded by Wang Wei and Tim Shi in 2016. The brand has gained international recognition, notably becoming semi-finalists for the prestigious LVMH Prize in 2023. MARRKNULL's mission centers on redefining Chinese culture in the contemporary context, integrating past and modern Chinese cultural elements while breaking away from traditional stereotypes to present a more diverse representation of China's fashion landscape. The brand's design philosophy embraces paradoxical aesthetics, combining contrasting styles in unexpected ways to create deliberate visual disorder. Known for their experimental cuts, structural deformations, and deconstructive approach, MARRKNULL removes the inherent functionality of clothing to shape a future style that merges historical outlook with contemporary thinking. Their iconic "Hanger Bag," inspired by clothes drying across Chinese streets, demonstrates how they reinterpret daily life through modern fashion language, with storytelling driving their creative process over traditional functionality.
